http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32541 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-12-09 14:36 ------- Differences are not about including XML response once or doing it multiple times, it's about features. Anyway, you can't do asynchronous HTTP calls (the results wouldn't be in the outgoing document, or in the right order), and they can't be nested, so it makes no sense sending multiple request. I looked at the Proxy Generators... HttpProxyGenerator provides some of the functionalities of the HTTP[Request/Include]Transformer, but not all. For example, it can't send SOAP call; it's why WebServiceProxyGenerator was created. But then, another problem comes in mind; both proxies don't allow the user to manually set request header, or authentication information. It could be a real problem when you want to access some secure servers or when the server filters request on the User-Agent header. The transformer I submitted does all these things in one component, that's the beauty! But I agree with you on merging generators and transformer altogether into one component. It would be far more elegant instead of having multiple generators/transformers when one would be enough. And both transformer and a generator could use that component. I'm willing to investigate this way and maintaining the component (if I am allowed, of course). I suggest renaming HTTPIncludeTransformer to HTTPRequestTransformer and we could put it in the 2.2 branch, in a block or in the scratchpad area and let the users use both HttpProxyGenerator or HTTPRequestTransformer for now. I think both have their place.
